An African American wedding teaser that leads with the family's joy
A Social Teaser is the first glimpse most guests get after the wedding, so it should open on something that feels like this couple: a soloist's first note, the grandparents walking in, the bride's first look down the aisle. It should end on a high, such as jumping the broom or the dance floor. You choose those beats in the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser from your footage. You get a widescreen MP4 at 1080p in your project.
The teaser is one project's edit. A highlight of the same wedding is a separate project.

How to brief an African American wedding teaser
- 1
Create the project as a Social Teaser
Pick Social Teaser and upload the footage the teaser should draw from, which can be the whole day or only the reception.
- 2
Name the opening and the ending
In the moments question, write what comes first, for example "the soloist's opening line as the bride appears", and what closes it, for example "the couple landing after jumping the broom". Use the avoid question for anything to leave out.

Receive it and decide when to share
The edit is usually ready in 24 to 72 hours of starting processing. Watch it in the app and download it; WeddingEditor never sends it to the couple.
Opening and closing beats for the teaser
Open on a voice
The first line of a soloist or the choir, if the recording is clean.
Open on the aisle
The bride appearing at the end of the aisle and the groom's reaction.
The elders
Grandparents being escorted in, a few seconds that families love.
The broom
The couple jumping the broom and the guests cheering.
Close on the dance floor
A line dance with every generation, or the couple's grand entrance.
The first look
If the couple did a first look before the ceremony, the moment the groom turns can be a quiet, powerful middle beat before the celebration.
What this teaser needs
A personal first moment
A teaser is watched quickly. Open with a moment that feels like this family rather than venue shots.
A peak to end on
The broom and the dance floor both make strong endings because the cheering is in your audio.
Widescreen delivery
You receive a widescreen 1080p MP4. Make any vertical version yourself after download.
Real audio with music
The teaser keeps the sound in your footage. If the couple wants one particular song, you can rework the soundtrack in your own editor after download.
Selective by design
Choose three or four moments. A teaser that tries to show everything feels rushed and gives away the highlight.
Kente or heritage colors
If the couple wore kente stoles or other African fabrics, a close moment of them makes a distinctive opening that guests recognize.
Teaser beats and how to brief them
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Draw people in | "Start on the soloist's first line." |
| Family | Make it personal | "A moment of the grandparents walking in." |
| Tradition | Show what made it theirs | "Include the broom." |
| Ending | Leave them smiling | "End on the line dance." |
What is a Social Teaser for an African American wedding?
A Social Teaser is a short edit chosen as a project's deliverable when you create it. For an African American wedding it usually leads with a voice or a family moment and ends on a celebration such as the broom or the dance floor.
It is not a vertical reel and not a full highlight; the teaser is widescreen and a highlight is its own project.
Teaser questions
Can the teaser end on jumping the broom?
Yes, if you filmed it. Write that as the closing beat.
Can a soloist's song open the teaser?
Yes, if the recording is clear. Name the song and when it happened.
Can I get it vertical for social media?
No. The teaser is widescreen 1080p; crop it yourself for vertical platforms.
What if the ending is not the moment I wanted?
Email a revision note from the link in the app saying which moment should close it. Up to two revision rounds come with every full edit.
Should the teaser come from the ceremony or the reception?
Either works. A ceremony opening feels emotional; a reception opening feels celebratory. Many couples like a teaser that starts in the church and ends on the dance floor; note in the moments question.
Can the grand entrance be part of the teaser?
Yes. A wedding party dancing in makes a lively middle or ending. List it with the moments you want, in the order they should appear.
Does WeddingEditor decide whether the broom moment is shown publicly?
No. Whether jumping the broom, the libation or the family tribute goes into a teaser that will be shared online is the couple's decision; WeddingEditor does not decide it. Name what they want in the preferences and anything to keep out in the avoid question.
